OVERVIEW

Canarc ER70S-6 .035" MIG Wire - 550lb Drum for Automation

Take your welding operations to the next level with the Canarc ER70S-6 .035" MIG Wire, supplied in a heavy-duty 550 lb drum. This product is the ultimate solution for fabrication shops looking to streamline their workflow and support automated or robotic welding systems. The substantial quantity of wire per package eliminates the frequent stops required to swap out smaller 33lb or 44lb spools, allowing your welders and robots to keep the arc burning longer.

This ER70S-6 wire is a general-purpose, copper-coated solid wire designed for welding mild and low-alloy steels. It is the industry standard for a reason: it offers a perfect balance of weldability and mechanical properties. The high silicon and manganese content provides excellent deoxidizing properties, which helps to float out impurities and porosity when welding on steel that isn't perfectly clean. This makes it an excellent choice for structural steel, heavy equipment manufacturing, and general repairs where mill scale or light rust is present.

The copper coating is applied uniformly to extend the life of your contact tips and liners by reducing friction and improving current transfer. This results in a stable, crisp arc with low spatter levels, reducing post-weld cleanup time. When used with a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 gas mix, this wire produces a smooth, flat bead with excellent wetting at the toes. It is also fully capable of running on 100% CO2 for applications requiring deeper penetration and lower gas costs.

Performance Characteristics

  • Stable Arc: Smooth transfer with minimal spatter, even at higher amperages.
  • All-Position Capability: Suitable for welding in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions (with appropriate settings).
  • Robotic Ready: The drum payoff is designed to feed smoothly without tangling, essential for automated systems.
  • Strong Welds: Delivers consistent tensile strength typically exceeding 70,000 psi.

FAQ

You will typically need a drum hood or cone and a conduit system to guide the wire from the drum to the wire feeder. A payoff kit may also be required to prevent tangling.

This wire works well with 100% CO2 for deep penetration and cost savings, or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 mix for a smoother arc, less spatter, and better bead appearance.

No, this is a solid MIG wire (GMAW) and requires an external shielding gas. It is not flux-cored.

Yes, the ER70S-6 classification contains high levels of silicon and manganese deoxidizers, which allow it to handle light to moderate rust and mill scale better than S-3 wires.

This wire is 0.035 inches (approximately 0.9 mm) in diameter.

The copper coating improves electrical conductivity for a stable arc, protects the steel wire from rusting during storage, and acts as a lubricant to help the wire feed smoothly through the liner.

As an ER70S-6 class wire, it produces welds with a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi (approx. 480 MPa).
